30.06 caliber bullet pen made with black palm and a genuine casing, gold trim

Description

This is hand-turned pen made from a block of black palm and a genuine 30.06 caliber rifle casing.  This wood has a nice mottled black and chocolate brown natural color.  Black Palm is an open grain wood so there may be some slightly rough spots in it from the open pores.
This is a one-of-a-kind, beautiful pen and would make a perfect gift for yourself or someone special.
The wood from the pen is sanded to 600 grit then finished with a sanding polish and finally coats of friction polish wax. The hardware is gold colored.
It has a cross-style ink refill.  If you need to replace the refill, simply pull the two halves of the pen apart, unscrew the refill, and replace it.  Refills are available at any office supply store.
This is a once-fired (at least) 30.06 caliber casing.  There is a possibility it may have a bit of burnt gunpowder residue inside the casing so it might set off an alarm at the airport!  Because it is a genuine casing, it will most likely have some nicks or bumps from being ejected from the rifle when it was fired.
